New Delphi Blog of the Week: From Zero To One The author made an interesting comment on my THMLWriter post, and has given me some ideas. Looks like an useful set of downloads as well.

THTMLWriter Update: As per the excellent suggestion by Francisco Ruiz, I’ve added a new feature for attributes, enabling you to declare attributes as an indexed property with two strings. Great idea.

Document Insight has been released and for the present, it is on sale for half price. I have been making extensive use of Document Insight with the THTMLWriter project, and can easily say that it is one of the coolest Delphi plugins I’ve ever used. It does exactly what I want, and it is utterly intuitive. Very nice. The XMLDoc feature of Delphi is cool once you really start using it, and Document Insight makes it pathetically easy to do.

Cool Delphi Open Source Project of the Week: DotNet4Delphi – This is a brilliant idea, actually. First, it utilizes generics to create a nice set of collections and lists based on the same set of .Net classes. But the fun part is that it creates TDataset descendants than enable you to hook those lists and collections to data-aware controls for display and editing. Very cool idea indeed. Add this to the growing list of very excellent libraries for Delphi that are taking advantage of generics, RTTI, and anonymous methods.
